Yeah, this is normal. If you don't hear anything this week then follow up by email.

cornel08biz · 27-02-2021 9:46pm

Hi. Guys!

I m just curious if anyone from batch 1.2 general stream received the phonecall for clearance... Two weeks ago they were still at batch 1. Thank you!

Nope, since the email asking whether I'm interested in proceeding further last week, I haven't heard anything back from PAS regarding clearance.

derailed · 01-03-2021 9:31pm

Got notification earlier this evening with invite to update application form with work/educational experience for next stage. Early 300's OOM and on general stream.

Jambori · 01-03-2021 10:37pm

Does anyone know if they're still on batch 1.1 for the Health Steam or have they moved on to batch 1.2?

Zoulikha · 02-03-2021 11:50am

Hello, Everyone,

I am in top five in the first batch in HR stream. I know this is very slow process, but I was expecting to be contacted by PAS by now. Yet, nothing since the release of the results. Is there anyone else here from HR stream that could share their experience, please?

Thank you in advance.

Itchyfeet89 · 02-03-2021 12:03pm

What number are they on now for general stream? I am around 1500 so I'll probably never get called??

Balaine · 02-03-2021 2:48pm

Sorry guys not able to answer your questions. However I do know that they are up to mid teens for clearance on the Business and Finance panel. Panel 1.

At 1500 it's very unlikely you'll be called. The AO comp runs every year and there are relatively few AO postitions (vs CO/EO and even AP).
Typically, at the very most, they get to somewhere in the 300 - 600 range for the General stream.

I'm just slightly higher than you in the HR stream (between 5 and 10) and it's a small comfort to know that not even people in the top 5 have been contacted yet.

I sent an email to Publicjobs last week in relation to the HR stream but have received no reply as of yet.

Thank you, hope we hear something soon. If you can, do share their response.

How long do the panels/how highly do you have to be ranked after the final interview to have a realistic chance of getting called for a job?

I would say even 300 is too high. If you got over 250 in the Stage 1 OOM, you won't be called before the panel expires

The_Conductor · 03-03-2021 2:36pm

Just under 260 in the general stream here.
I'm not giving up hope, but I think I'm going to forget about it, and if I get a message or a phone call in a few month's time, well, it'll be a pleasant surprise.

Teateatea123 · 03-03-2021 3:45pm

Does anyone have any idea how many people have been called for interview so far in the general stream?

Called for what - interview or handing in the more detailed application form?

I'm low 200s and the last thing i was asked for was more information.

Now i'm wondering if they looked at my form and thought 'No point bothering with this one...' :-/

Post 856 says they're in the low 300s are were just asked for a detailed application, so I assume that's what the other poster means by "called".

JackieOnassis · 04-03-2021 12:39pm

I am in the high 300s and was asked to submit the detailed application form also

2020Survivor · 04-03-2021 1:11pm

Well this sounds promising. PAS must have called a very large amount of people for those interviews in February, but I don’t recall anyone actually posting what OOM they had called forward for that batch.

But how did the person that was OOM was it 265 hadn’t heard yesterday after someone in the low 300’s had been contacted on Monday?!

Anyway, this latest bit of news sounds like PAS must be expecting to get through the remainder of the General stream panel batch 1.2 soon

Same! But higher oom, closer to the 257 oom (if I remember right...) cut off that was used in the last round. Sounds like a positive step, I’m sure we’ll be interviewed before too long.

Are the people in the 200s like yourself who haven't heard anything yet already vetted via other streams?

Aine1986 · 04-03-2021 2:16pm

I just contacted PAS, I am mid 20’s in Batch 1.2 and they advised me that there are 4 people ahead of me on the panel so looks like they are moving through quite quickly

They were around the low 20’s on that panel last week, so sounds like there hasn’t been any/much progress in the last week or so

I've sent two emails over course of 2 weeks and still haven't heard an answer to the question you asked. Lol.

What email did you use to contact them?

yop_mayo · 04-03-2021 4:08pm

They seem to be moving quick enough through the panels. Are people starting though, what with all the WFH?

I have a start date so I assume many more do too

Pooling928 · 04-03-2021 4:45pm

Hey guys? Any idea what number they're on regarding the Health Stream?

oh sorry, for the application form. Although it wasn't as detailed as i had expected

The_Captain · 04-03-2021 6:14pm

The message I got back in December says that everyone under 253 OOM was to submit a detailed application for stage 2.

I assume they're planning to clear batch one soon and they're gearing up for batch 2 interviews

HolyRomanMemes · 04-03-2021 10:26pm

I just got contacted on Monday and asked to submit two forms basically on employment and education history pending an interview but i don't know when any such interview would be, i got 253 in the general stream, what do you reckon are my chances at this point??

I believe once you get called for interview your ranking in the exams no longer counts, that your OOM on the panel is just based on interview scores so you have a good a chance as anyone!

Balaine · 07-03-2021 2:38pm

With regard to providing a name for a reference to the PAS, if you are working for a large organisation i.e. the banks, the Civil Service, the Health sector do you provide the name of your line manager or the Personnel Dept? Just wondering who should provide the reference the PAS are looking for.

I gave my line manager in this case. Hope that helps.

FenFlynn · 09-03-2021 10:40am

Anyone in top 10 of batch 1.2 got placed yet?
I sent in all the documents last week, still haven't received a vetting link yet.

SeanOS92 · 09-03-2021 12:07pm

Anyone know how many people are in a Batch? Where about are they in OOM?

belgowho · 11-03-2021 6:20pm

Theyve reached 30s in General Stream

nmcg67 · 11-03-2021 7:10pm

Hey I'm 45 in the General Stream Batch 1.2 and have been called to clearance

cornel08biz · 11-03-2021 8:06pm

Same.. I'm 41 and I have received the message from Pas. Are they going to tell us who is the employer? I don't really want to talk with my current employer until I know more... Do we need to give them references at this stage?

nmcg67 · 11-03-2021 8:21pm

Yes but before you give your references they should tell you where you're going when I was as clerical and executive officer they called me and told me where I was going granted that was 3 years ago

KD1934 · 11-03-2021 9:02pm

When at the clearance stage do you have to provide a reference from your current employer or can you use previous jobs? Would feel a bit bad asking my current employer.

When they reach your OOM, they will ask for references from the 3 previous years. They won't contact your current employer unless you authorise them to do so. However, they will still need a reference for the years that you are with your current employer.
